It's been a funny six months. The work ended with PC Zone as quickly as it started (change of editor), and there's really been nothing to report since then.

The Torchwood book was a disaster. After two very (and contradictory) different briefs (and doubling the word count), it was impossible to continue working on that book - especially when I'd already spent days working on it. What I submitted in the end simply wasn't what they wanted, but when you're working to different song sheets, it's never easy.

I think my days of writing RPGs are over. It is good fun, but the pay is just so dire it's hardly worthwhile.

The personal projects I've tried to work on: the book of short stories never came to fruition. One artist quit due to personal reasons and the artist I finally commissioned decided to drop out in favour of a higher paying job. The last artist did one draft and then never got in touch again. He's probably out there in artist limbo, stuck among the easels and papier mache...

The graphic novel, which I had hoped would have been out in September 2008 - well - the artist took my cash and had no intention of doing the work (thanks Victor Drujniu - your integrity is outstanding).

So I've been really fed up with trying to work on projects and being endlessly let down by people. I do intend keep this website ticking over, there's not a lot to report.

The Geekest Link has really just started to get going in the last week or two, so do check it out. It'll be another month before there's loads of juicy content, but it IS getting there. www.thegeekestlink.com.
